Brother Buck Kltchin, of the Scotland

old plcture-has eschewed politics for the

columns of reading matter, all Ut W Aich
treated of farming, except one
short article about the pubic school

of little over a half column. Brother

ssuG Goodness Gracious how
Lonesome.

There is one emocrat in North Caro-
lima who does hit march under the Cleve-
land banner: His name is Capt Buck
Kitchen. editor of the Scotland Neck
DEMOCRAT. tie Swears that Cleveland
shall be no more President. provided Of
course thtt he Captain Kitchen) can
help it. One thing about the Captain.
re stands up straight. tho all alone, and
strikes with all his yigor. We admire
l. INDEPENDENCE but pity his judgment.
Fnc Democratic party, from Name to the
CO.! has said one thing, Captain Kitchen
says another. But then if he thinks he's
light let him howl and shout. That's
ms privilege The party, no doubt can
stand 1t and so can Mr.. Cleveland and so,
a,e hone can Capt. Kitchen-Asheboro
Couli.r.
The only exception we take to the
above, is in the spelling of our name.
We are no Kitchen, our name is
Kitchn with an i not an e. Our
Judgment may be wrong. We are
not invaluable. Bat we think we are
es good a Democrat as our brethren
and q better Democrat than Cleve~
land, though we may be rGi9tak en-.
But We are not alone. You are mis-
taken. There is to-day more than
fifty thousand Democrats In this
State who DO not endorseking Grow
er. We meet men daily, and have
talkei with thousands of Democrats
who are not in love With Cleveland
as Democrat. And we must be
allowed to say it seems very strange
to US that other brethren of the press
never meet see or hear Of any but
supporters of the present admins
tratiOn. We heard that q gentleman
in this county told q leading civil
service reformer the other day that
". II. Kitchin was the only Demo
crat in the county opposed to the
denomination of Cleveland. Now
this is very misleading.We ad better
acknowledge the truth an! meet it
like man, than to blind our own eyes
and deceive and mislead others. The
truth is, not one-tourth of the Demo
Gratis in this county would prefer
Cleveland as the next nominee of
the party. But if nominated all my
vote for hin. BIT to say that our
pno Die are gushing over Cleveland
would be false. He is not a Demo
